My bad - but it's very important for us to warn the user that
IPv6 is broken on RoCE in linux right now, until linux releases
a fixed version.

We've gotten reports from multiple testers (including Frank Yangjie
and myself) that RDMA IPv6 support over RocE (Ethernet) is broken
in linux.
A patch to Linux is still in review:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.rdma/16448
If the user is listening on '[::]', then we will not have a opened a device
yet and have no way of verifying if the device is RoCE or not.
In this case, the source VM will throw an error for ALL types of
connections (both IPv4 and IPv6) if the destination machine does not have
a regular infiniband network available for use.
The only way to gaurantee that an error is thrown for broken kernels is
for the management software to choose a *specific* interface at bind time
and validate what time of hardware it is.
Unfortunately, this puts the user in a fix:
If the source VM connects with an IPv4 address without knowing that the
destination has bound to '[::]' the migration will unconditionally fail
unless the management software is not explicitly listening on the the IPv4
address while using a RoCE-based device.
If the source VM connects with an IPv6 address, then we're OK because we can
throw an error on the source (and similarly on the destination).
But in mixed environments, this will be broken for a while until it is fixed
inside linux.
We do provide a *tiny* bit of help in mixed environments, though in this patch:
We can list all of the devices in the system and check to see if all the
devices are RoCE or Infiniband.
If we detect that we have a *pure* RoCE environment, then we can safely
thrown an error even if the management sofware has specified '[::]' as the
bind address.
However, if there is are multiple hetergeneous devices, then we cannot make
this assumption and the user just has to be sure they know what they are doing.

getaddrinfo() already knows what it's doing,
but it can potentially return multiple addresses.
We need to handle that...

RDMA does not use sockets, so we cannot use many of the socket
helper functions, but we *do* use inet_parse() which gives
RDMA all the necessary details of the connection parameters.
However, when testing with libvirt, a simple IPv6 migration test failed
because we were not using getaddrinfo() properly.
This makes IPv6 migration over RDMA work.

Code that does need to be visible is kept
well contained inside this file and this is the only
new additional file to the entire patch.
This file includes the entire protocol and interfaces
required to perform RDMA migration.
Also, the configure and Makefile modifications to link
this file are included.
